Population Reports

[Archive]

Posted By: Bill Kasel

To start off I am what I call a hybrid-collector. I truly "collect" pre-war because I am facinated with that era of baseball, and could stare those cards all day. I am also a realist when it comes to the overall investment of my cards. One day I may need to sell them (to support a second child lets say), or for whatever reason it may be. I also have started selling some to pay for future purchases. All that being said....

Where is the best place to start for population reports? I'm more interested in some of the rarer sets or type cards. E107's for example....PSA doesn't even have a category that I could see to check for graded examples, and I had the same results at SGC. Is there a differet resource available to cross reference some of the more rare/obsure cards?

Apologies to all if this is a stupid question.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

E107's are in the PSA pop report-
14 total graded, 1 8, 2 5's, 1 3-4's, and 7 1-2's
the 8 is an Eddie Plank.

I suspect there are a few more that were misidentified and are in the pop reports for other sets.

Brian McQueen is among the most knowledgeable E107 collectors and is building a database. I'm sure he could give you some informal information.

That Plank was mine I bought it at 95 St. Louis national as a raw card. It looked too good to be true next to my beaters, but I bought it and it graded. Mastro auctioned it for me about 4-5 years ago. Wish I'd held it and it was being auctioned now.

I thought that the E107 Plank now belongs to Brian Seigel [of Honus Wagner fame...]

Marc, Another big collector currently owns the PSA 8 Plank card. When the next highest PSA grade for any E107 card is EX and the next highest SGC grade is EX+, a card from that set in PSA 8 is simply incredible. To top it off, the PSA 8 is one of the key Hall of Fame rookie cards in the set. Amazing.

I think the PSA 8 was cracked out of its slab and sent to SGC for cross-over.

At least, that's what I was told when I bought the card below.

Don't you think this is the same card that got a PSA 8?

Oh no, that looks like the same Plank I got back from Global, claiming it was trimmed

Hal,

I know that you are only joking, but I would gladly buy the Plank back from you at the bargain price that I sold it to you for a few years ago.
